Chick Chow/Chick Sips: Chopped Dirty Bird Gumbo & A Jello Shot in the Leg

It’s time for a round of sloppy seconds with the Falclowns. And just like that leftover Turkey rotting in your fridge, the Saints plan to chew up those Dirty Birds and spit them out in a single sitting. As always, we’ve put together the perfect dish to help the Saints sink their teeth into the start of a 4 game winning streak: Chopped Dirty Bird Gumbo. For this week’s Chick Sip, we’ve decided to switch gears. We’ve created a GIANT concoction in honor of America’s most lovable moron: Plaxico Burress. Prepare to coat your throat with our Jello Shot in the Leg.

Chopped Dirty Bird Gumbo
For the stock:
One turkey carcass (think of Jeff Garcia after the game)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Paprika to taste

Place the carcass in a stock pot filled with water. Make sure the entire bird is covered. Add salt, pepper, and paprika and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add more salt, pepper, and paprika and reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for at least two hours, but the longer the better. Once it’s ready, take off the heat and remove all bones and skin. Strain and reserve 8 cups of broth.

For the gumbo:
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons bacon grease
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped celery
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
2-3 bay leaves
½ teaspoon of thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh)
1 cup chopped sausage (green onion, smoked)
3 cups of turkey meat
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon gumbo filé
2 cups cooked rice

Brown flour and bacon grease into a dark brown roux. Add onions, pepper, celery, and parsley and sauté until translucent. Slowly add broth to the roux, stirring constantly. Add bay leaves, thyme, sausage, and turkey meat. Salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for another two hours. Add filé just before serving and make sure it doesn’t boil at this point. Remove bay leaves and serve over rice.

Jello Shot in the Leg
1 package Strawberry Jello
8 oz Vodka
1 cup boiling water

Mix hot water and jello. Add Vodka. Pour into shot glasses and let the mixture set.
